"Potpot! Goodmorning~ school na ako :) Ingat k sa pagpasok. Mejo busy ako today. May dadating na bwisita. Lets be positive. I Love youu~"
- EJ

I was sure I had a dream. Pero hindi ko na maalala kasi bigla akong nagising at narealize na nakatulog ako ulit after mag alarm ng phone ko. It was already past 7 AM. 0_0 May bigla lang nagbukas ng pinto ko kaya nagising ako ulit. At ayun. Grrr. Late na ko. Walang duda. Tapos narealize kong malapit nang ma empty bat ang Apple ko. Ang Cherry ko naman, walang load. Grabe talagaaaaa. Whoa. I immediately sent a message to Ivan to inform them I will be late:

Me: "Paki sabi baka malate ako mga 30 minutes. Thanks."
Ivan: "Ok ok. 8:40 pa naman class mo tama??"
Me: "Yup."
Ivan: "Bakit? San ka na ba?? Traffic??"

Amazing. Wala akong load tapos lobat na rin. Yung totoo? Pero ganunpaman, I tried my best to remain calm. Napansin ko lang na parang umaga pa lang, ang dami ko ng pwedeng ikwento. Like yung driver ng nasakyan kong jeep on my way to Guadalupe, eh babae. Late ako ng 37 minutes ata. Sakto lang bago ako pumasok para sa 8:40 AM class ko sa Grade 4. At dahil exam na nila bukas, kinuha ko na yung time ng Character Ed. namin para mag quiz and at the same time, review na rin. Thank goodness din kasi may iba ng nagbayad. At least, meron na ko ulit panggastos. Although, iniisip ko rin na baka malaki yung nasingil ko sa mga bata. Pero hindi rin naman. Yung pagod ko rin naman no. Iba rin.

And I remember one thing happened during my clad with Grade 2, Niño cheated while we were having a review game for the Science subject. It was a game with boys versus girls. Since I had given the point to the girls, Niño made a way so I could take back the point I had given them by removing the last letter of the answer 'river' making it 'rive'. We had this rule wherein that even if the answer was correct, if it's misspelled, they won't be given a point. With what Niño did pissed off Kylianne. She had cried and I can see how much she was irritated with what Niño did. She was growling.   And shouting how unsporty Niño was. Niño however was taken aback and looked really guilty. I immediately ended the review game and asked Niño to apologize to Kylianne to which the latter had accepted. My head was aching with my Argonauts. Especially to my boys. Sigh.

Dahil nag charge pa ko ng phones, at expired na ang load ko, 1 PM na ko nakapag message kay EJ thru Messenger, "Jaypot. Slr, ngayon ko lang nabuksan phone ko. Tawagan kita later kun makakapagpa load ako. Late ako kanina pumasok din. Nonstop ang gawain." Talk about kamalasan talaga.

Jana suddenly messaged me asking:

Jana: "Teacherrrrrrrr. Marhea didnt pass the entance in MakSci daw?"
Me: "I'm not sure. I didn't check."

Well actually I knew. I heard from the other teachers that the result already came up. KC and Jhiyan passed the exam. However, Jireh and Marhea didn't. But I didn't want the confirmation coming from me. Especially that I really like Marhea. She's a hard-working and kind pupil. Hindi matalino pero marunong. Napakasipag na bata. God has better plans for her. Pero naalala ko rin na nag message si Jhiyan, "TEACHER
CHER APRILLLL." Kaya lang hindi ko pinansin agad. Pero dahil naalala kong pumasa siya sa admission exam ng MakSci, I congratulated her. She replied, "THANK YOU PO!" Aba. Mahilig sa shouty capitals ang batang ito.

It was sooo traffic. As in exaggerated. I messaged EJ again because when I left him a message around 1 in the afternoon, there was no reply. Seen lang. So I said, "Seen lang? Pauwi n ko."

At wala akong ibang pwedeng mapaglibangan, buti na lang natuto na ko kaninang umaga. Fully charged na ang Apple. So Facebook and Messenger saved the night in the middle of traffic.

And my posts went like this:

"Left school at Guadalupe Nuevo at 6:30 PM and currently I'm still in Kalayaan on my way home. Stuck in traffic for more than an hour and counting. I'm about to lose whatever that is to lose. Beast mode on. Pabili nga ng kausap. Gusto kong sisihin ang mga chain messages na hindi ko na forward sa 30 katao maraming taon ng nakakalipas sa mga kamalasang naranasan ko ngayong araw."

A conversation with Bryan:

Bryan: "Teacheeeer."
Me: "Bryaaaan."
Bryan: "Bike tayo cher!!"
Me: "Saan?"
Bryan: "MOA !!! Nag tetrail po ba kayo ?"
Me: "Hindi pa. Haha. I still haven't tried that."
Bryan: "You should. But it is hard though And dangerous."
Me: "Next time."
Bryan: "Okeh. You should try it with ejay so he will protect you. Hehe."
Me: "Why not?"
Bryan: "Kamusta nga po pala kayo ?"
Me: "Eto exhausted. Almost two hours byahe pauwi dahil sa trapik."
Bryan: "Ahhh. Kaya mo yan cher ! !Ikaw pa. Kamusta po kayo ni ejay ?"
Me: "Okay naman kami. We saw each other last Saturday."
Bryan: "Cool."

Nes: "Easy lang. :)"
Me: "Sigh."
Nes: "San ka na?"
Me: "Same place."
Nes: "Kwentuhan mo na lang ako. Baligtad. Hahahaha."
Me: "Uh? Like? Maybe it's better if you'll just ask a question?"
Nes: "Let's start with... How are you?"
Me: "I'm not fine. Honestly haha. Late ako kaninang umaga. Ang daming kelangan gawin sa school to which I don't know what I should accomplish first. It''s like a domino effect. Like right now. Halos dalawang oras na di pa rin ako makakauwi. Gutom na rin ako. Haha ayun."
Nes: "Pero patapos na yung araw so don't dwell sa mga nangyari kanina."
Me: "I know.  nakakapagod lang today."
Nes: "Mas masarap magpahinga kapag pagod."
Me: "Problem is, more pagod pa pag uwi bgo magpahinga."
Nes: "Mas maaapreciate mo magpahinga dahil sobrang pagod ka."
Me: "Oh well fact."
Nes: "Kaya sagarin mo na pagod mo para masarap ang pahinga."
Me: "Baka natuluyan ako niyan ng forever pahinga. Haha."
Nes: "Di yan no ka ba. Hahaha."
Me: "We wouldn't know for sure."
Nes: "Magpapahinga ka lang. Wag mong isipan ng kung ano ano yun ok?"
Me: "Orayt. :D"
Nes: "San ka na?"
Me: "One ride more."
Nes: "Isa na lang. :)"
Me: "Yup. Almost home na."
Nes: "Konti na lang pala eh. Oh sha.. I'll leave you from here."
Me: "Thanks. I'm home na~"

I really needed to be my own heroine because not all the time EJ would be there for me even in the worst times. I'll get by. So I sent him a message thru Messenger, "Kakauwi ko lang. Hindi na ko nakapagpaload. Tomorrow na lang. Good night. I love you."

Nanahi muna ako ng tatlong cookie pillow. Naabutan pa nga ako ni Timmy sa sala. Hirap ng dedicated.

Bago pa ko matulog, nagpahabol chat si Daniella. Usapang Taguig.

Ella: "Ate J, malapit ka ba sa FTI?"
Me: "Not really malapit. 2 rides."
Ella: "San banda?"
Me: "Uh. It's hard to describe
What do you mean San banda?"
Ella: "Hahaha. Wait. Kasi nasa Taguig ako ate nung Sunday. Naalala lang kita. Brgy Signal Village ate? Malapit kayo dun? Haha."
Me: "Isang sakay. Haha. Medyo malaki din ang signal."
Ella: "Ah hahaha nakakalito sa Taguig. Dun ako galing nung nakaraan."
Me: "Malawak ang Taguig. :)"
Ella: "Oo nga po e. Ang daming pasikot-sikot."
